About Surf Happens
In the last twenty years, Surf Happens has grown into the undisputed top dog of surf schools on the South Coast with a team of world-class instructors – many of whom were once Surf Happens students themselves. In addition to providing the highest quality surf lessons, camps and coaching to locals and visitors in Santa Barbara, Chris and his team have also trained students in Costa Rica, the Philippines, and most recently in China where the Surf Happens method was utilized to start the first youth surfing camps in the country.
His wife Jenny, who also travels the surfer’s path, came on board in 2009, and together, Chris and Jenny formed Surf Happens Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit with a mission to provide scholarships and programs for physically, financially, and emotionally challenged children who need some ocean love.
